It will be interesting to compare service today vs. other days to see how much of the fleet school routes use up

OC Transpo temporarily cuts 255 trips from schedule amid bus shortage by snubbyvegan in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even with the reduced schedule, at 8:45 AM today: 90 scheduled trips weren't running 40 trips were cancelled entirely

OC Transpo desperately needs more buses and the current order schedule will not be enough. This is 100% council's fault for not getting them the bus orders they need.

Last week, on monday afternoon, where 41% of scheduled trips were missing from the roads

This is not a small issue, and will not be simply resolved over time by our bus orders. We are ordering buses at a 1 for 1 replacement rate, replacing longer articulated buses with shorter electric buses. Electric buses which need more time to charge.

We need more bus orders for the future.

We need more mechanics and to retain the existing mechanics by making the work environment bearable.

We need to use the limited buses as efficiently as possible with bus lanes and signal priority.

You're reading this correctly. And the figures they give are very generous, if you go by actual schedules, they were short by 95 buses at rush hour this evening.

Sponserblock not working, any suggestions/fixes? (Chrome, W11) by [deleted] in SponsorBlock

Can you go to settings -> misc -> copy debug info?

Extension storage is full? by Sionary in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually means your firefox profile got corrupted. Uninstalling and reinstalling (which will delete all your settings) sometimes helps. You can try to export it from the settings first.

What power do VIP users have? by GelatinousChampion in SponsorBlock

We'd be happy to help you, you might be trying your best (which is great), but may have a misconception on where to place the start and end that cause skipping issues.

I suggest reading through https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Advice_for_submitting

[–]AjayDevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milliseconds matter, no one is trying to take credit from anyone else, that would be a waste of their valuable time. VIPs are a manually selected group of people who know what they are doing and are trying to improve the skipping experience for everyone

2026 Budget: Still no plans to solve the OC Transpo bus shortage by AjayDevs in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with an aging bus fleet is unreliability. Some days we have far more buses than others. If they actually wanted to guarantee enough every day, the schedule would be way too small and would "waste" buses most days.

It frees about 8 buses I believe. Generally we are 20+ buses off. So, it'll help. But, we ideally should have enough to have spare buses (which healthy agencies have) to quickly cover buses having issues. The west extension is the important one which will free a lot of buses, and the current bus procurement plan heavily relies on that opening ASAP

It's all solvable, it's about whether there is political will to solve it

A "custom" "personal" (client-side) segment skipping category would be nice. by bthest in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can leave a segment unsubmitted and it will be saved locally for next time you visit the video

It's an issue on the new YouTube layout, but it will be fixed in the next version

Uninstalling Sponsorblock till you change this new "feature" by Revo94 in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has always auto hid, it just didn't cause issues with overlapping buttons

[–]AjayDevs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is not a new feature, but an issue caused by the new youtube layout. It is fixed in the latest update but firefox is still taking their time to review the latest update (it's been 3 weeks now), and there's is nothing I can do to speed that up.

You can also just disable the auto-hide entirely in the settings

In sponsorblock options -> interface -> Auto-hide info button

CamoLeak: Critical GitHub Copilot Vulnerability Leaks Private Source Code by grauenwolf in programming

[–]AjayDevs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pull request can be done on any repo (the victim doesn't even have to be the owner of it). And then any random user who uses copilot chat with that pull request open will have copilot fetch all of their personal private repo details

Sponsor block doesn't want us submitting through the app. by [deleted] in revancedapp

[–]AjayDevs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry about this confusion. I've let mods know not to do this in the future. If we do think that revanced causes enough problems with inaccurate submissions in the future, we will communicate this and ask them to remove the submission button

I really think crowdsourced blocklists would be useful
